tblack1970,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

This should be something that your wireless adapter on your computer supports, or does not work.  It is not a feature of Vista, but the network hardware.  When your wireless adapter on your computer sees the router which has the active Protocol, it must ask the key and once offers you the key, it needs to connect.  If you do not see this option for your network card, then you should contact the manufacturer.

What are the different wireless network security methods?

If you plan to have a wireless network, you must configure the only people that can access your choice. Here are a few options for the security of wireless networks.

Wi - Fi Protected Access (WPA)
WPA encrypts information and it checks to make sure that the network security key has not been modified. WPA also authenticates users to ensure that only authorized individuals can access the network.

There are two types of WPA authentication: WPA and WPA2. WPA is designed to work with all wireless network cards, but it might not work with the older routers or access points. WPA2 is more secure than WPA, but it will not work with some older network cards. WPA is designed to be used with an authentication server 802.1 X, which distributes different keys to each user. This is referred to as WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise. It can also be used in pre-shared key (PSK), where each user has the same passphrase. This is referred to as WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal.
 
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
WEP is an older network security who is still able to support older devices, but it is not recommended. When you enable WEP, you configure a network security key. This key encrypts the information that one computer sends to another computer on your network. However, WEP security is relatively easy to crack.

We do not recommend the use of WEP. WPA or WPA2 are more secure. If you try WPA or WPA2 and they do not work, we recommend that you upgrade your network card to those who work with WPA or WPA2.

Authentication of 802. 1 X
802. 1 X authentication can help improve the security of 802.11 wireless networks and wired Ethernet networks. 802. 1 X uses an authentication server to validate users and to provide network access. On wireless 802. 1 X can work with key Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi - Fi Protected Access (WPA). This type of authentication is typically used when connecting to a network of workplaces.

  • How are added to the field "code"...

    I'm lost here, I use LiveCycle Designer ES and I'm trying to fix a few fields to interact with each other in pdf format. I studied a few examples, calculation field scored in the tab value "Calculated - Read Only" and the code is added to the Script (Ctrl + Shift + F5) editor

    What I'm trying to do is to add two numbers inserted by the user and the display score in the third field. I created 3 'digital fields' named:

    NumericField1

    NumericField2

    NumericField3

    last value "calculated - Read Only.

    I mark the last field and go to the script editor (ctrl + shift + f5 or window-> script editor)

    Here I set the language for Java Script (which is enabled btw) and I put is seen in some AA9pro examples (like the holidays)

    Sum (NumericField1, NumericField2);

    or seen in tutorial adobe javascript

    var f = this.getField ("NumericField1");

    var g = this.getField ("NumericField2");

    Event.Value = f.value + g.value;  or NumericField3 instead of event.value

    any of these shopping errors in the syntax checker and nothing that works. Do I did wrong?

    Please advice.

    Hello

    Let Val1, val2, Val3 are three digital fields.

    then the script Editor,

    In Javascript,.

    val3. RawValue = val1.rawValue + val2.rawValuwe;

    That's all. Try good luck.

  • How are added to the HP Officejet Pro 8600 printing solution Center

    The center of printing solutions shows my Photosmart C5580.  No idea how to add an OfficeJet Pro 8600?

    Shlomi Hi and thanks for a quick response.

    I had hoped to add 8600 Solution Center as an HP upgrade / download link in the menu Wizard printer you mention using the icon, re - set the default printer for the "8600 Fax.

    He also changed the list of this menu screen to be only four: HP printer Asst (but does nothing when a click), Set Prefs, see what printing and the printer to customize.

    Previous menu, as you no doubt refers, had several printer features that included all submenu links functions, I used (including to scan a doc, preferences, etc.).  Frustrating...

    After uninstalling and reinstalling, tweaking, etc, I always have this quick menu by clicking on the icon of tune.  I have tried different methods of scanning as the right click on the printer in Control Panel devices, but the scanning from which lead to a horrible list of basic functions, a confusing list of formats, etc.

    Finally, I did a scan in the screen menu of the printer who made a point "scan" in the Start Menu, I right click it to pin that on the Start Menu, then created a new shortcut on the desktop with the path to him... and now the icon / printer works to get the menu scanning.  Phew!

    About the loss of the Solution Center is regrettable.  Very handy tool to do the various tasks and the refinements of a scanned document that do not exist in the limited functions / buttons on the 8600 scan menu results.

    At the same time and while I'm... To the laserjet subject large workhorse of HP LJet 1320, several other positions and all forums have problems loss of functionality after passage from XP to Win7.  I finally got all but one device works (PCL6/5th, printing on both sides, etc.), but the pilot is only 600 dpi quality close to the project, instead of the prior 1200 dpi (especially good for forms, thin fonts, etc..).  Which is just a discharge on the technology and support for the products that brought me as a customer to use HP in the first place.

    Thanks again for your reply and your suggestions.  Ready to try anything to solve the so-called reliable downloads / upgrades.

    Best regards...

  • iPADs repeat network WPA2 Enterprise authentication

    Hi all

    I have the following problem with our network wireless company. We are able to connect to our network wireless with iPad and iPhone successfully.

    But with the iPad when you leave the office and come back a few hours later he asks for to re-authenticate to having to type your user name and password again. But with the iPhone it will automatically reconnect to the wireless network. Is there a difference between the iPad and the iPhone on that are used for example ms-chapV2 or PEAP authentication methods?

    If you get out of the office for about 20 minutes and then the IPADS don't ask no username and password it auto connects, it would seem that there is a time limit, or something.

    We use the controller wireless AP and cisco with radius server 2012R Server

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The Unit requests access to the network when a user selects an available wireless network or the device detects a network set up previously. 2 when the access point receives the request, it forwards the request to the RADIUS authentication for the authentication server. 3 the RADIUS server uses directory services to validate the user account. 4 once the user is authenticated, the access point provides access network with policies and permissions, as shown by the RADIUS server

  • WPA2-psk vs wpa - psk?

    Hello

    What is the strongest? Please go to the order:

    1 - WEP 64-bit

    2 - WEP 128 bit

    3 - WPA - PSK

    4-WPA2-PSK

    5 - WPA - PSK / WPA2-PSK

    And which one I should use:

    1 AES

    2 TKIP

    Hello

    What security / authentication method that you choose depends on whether or not the network and devices that attempts to connect to the network of the said charge method where you want to. For example, not all devices support connection and WPA2-PSK authentication you will need to use WPA - PSK, etc..

    WEP is by far the weakest, and in today's security standards I would never recommend using it. Use the WPA2-PSK with AES if your network and devices supported. If this is not the case, go back to TKIP. WPA2-PSK is out of the question altogether due to device restrictions and or network, use WPA - PSK with AES / TKIP.

    AES offers encryption, however not all devices support it. TKIP is a little less strong in terms of encryption, but is widely supported by many devices on the market.

    Kind regards

  • WPA2-PSK is not on my network authentication options. On one of my computers portable runnning Windows XP.

    How to install authentication network WPA2-PSK on my laptop.  I have WPA - PSK appears but WPA2-PSK does not appear in the list of options.

    Network connections

    Wireless network connection properties

    Network authentication options

    It's on a laptop running XP.  I have other laptops that are not WPA2-PSK authentication option.

    Support for WPA2 is not introduced in Windows XP to Service Pack 3 (SP3).  The solution to recommend for this is to upgrade your computer to SP3:

  • Windows does not connect to my WPA2-PSK network, please help.

    Windows 7 will not connect to my network WPA2-PSK with AES key pairs. The adapter supports the Wireless N mode and the router is configured for that. I removed all of the antivirus solutions, nothing is done and even made some antivirus scans and applied all the updates of windows available. I tried several cards. And I have done all the resets and reset known to man for the cached windows kernel network. The router has no problem with any other device in my house and I have run diagnostics on the router, its status is OK. I played with the IP address and DNS resolution but no progress neither. Can someone help me please? The machine is a HP Pavilion P6550Z.

    I just mingled with the Tx and Rx buffers and activated energy saving MIMO, now it connects. I'll post back here if it stops working, thank you all for your help!

    Network card: Atheros AR5007 802. 11a / g WiFi. version of the driver. 7.3.201.25.

    I am running 2-1 Vista, 1 Window7 laptop
    IPhone 2

    When I installed initially the new router today, I installed it with WPA - PSK [TKIP] + security WPA2-PSK [AES] option. When in doing so, the Vista Home Premium (32 bit) would not connect to the internet. He would show local only access.

    But when I disable security it can connect to the internet. Rest of my devices are also able to connect to the internet regardless of WPA - PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] or security number. I am running Vista with SP2.  That seems known problem Vista on Sp1. see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935222.

  • Old laptop has only WEP in the drop-down list of options wifi, I need to do using WPA2-PSK. How to do it?

    It's an old Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro M10 with an Intel PRO/wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI adapt (whatever that means!), I did all the updates of Windows, but when I try and establish a connection wifi encryption options of data only from the drop-down are 'disabled' and 'WEP '.

    I checked on the Toshiba site and downloaded the latest wifi and internet updates, I even tried Intel Update site, but they have nothing appropriate (something to do with Toshiba, make changes to drivers for Intel do not offer updates).

    It connects to the internet without problem if I use a cable, but it's not really practical, wifi would be much better.

    Can anyone suggest something to make my laptop use/recognize the WPA2-PSK?

    Thank you very much

    I talked to Toshiba, very nice chap called Daniel spent 30 minutes on the phone and found a very old and apparently obscure update for me to download. Once this has been done the phone was able to connect to the router WPA2-PSK using WEP. Not too sure exactly what the update does but at least it will now connect to modern wi - fi, even if it is only at 11 Mbit / s. apparently, it's as much as the material can handle!
